Airlines should seek compensation from ASA for It's behaviour.
As for lumping the blame at the feet of the controllers- simplistic and uninformed. Haven't you read the thread?
Why aren't you bitching about the airways charges- the real threat to struggling airlines?
The controllers have put up with a lot of crap for a long time, acting professionally all the way. A bit of support from the rest of the industry wouldn't go astray. Instead we get this pathetic whining.
